Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Dan Merriman - Founder of Purpose Mentoring.
I help individuals and organizations align their time, money, and energy with what matters most.
With over 32 years of experience in financial education and personal development, I bring a unique combination of military discipline, financial experience, entrepreneurial insight, and transformational training expertise.
As a U.S. Army veteran, I served two years overseas as a light infantryman and four years as a counterintelligence agent with top-secret clearance. I also served as a missionary in Brazil for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After graduating cum laude from Snow College, I earned a degree in Business Finance from Utah State University and launched my own financial services agency.
My passion for education and empowerment led me to develop multiple training systems, eventually becoming a regional trainer for a national brokerage firm. I was honored to become a Master Facilitator licensed with the Franklin Covey Company, where I trained thousands of trainers in First Things First, What Matters Most, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and The 4 Roles of Leadership.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of training more than 80,000 financial professionals in subjects ranging from debt elimination, taxes, and stock market strategies to real estate, insurance, and estate & foundation planning. I’ve authored two books—one on debt elimination and another on real estate investing—and had the opportunity to work with Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad franchise.
In addition to running several successful businesses, I’ve studied under Tony Robbins and integrate many of his strategies into my work to help clients accelerate their success. I’ve experienced wins, setbacks, and valuable lessons—all of which I use to shorten the learning curve for those I mentor.
